RigSpark for iPhone: support

RigSpark for iPhone shows what RigSpark is doing on your Macs, lets you approve requests with Face ID, and alerts you when something needs you.

Getting started

Connect a Mac. Install RigSpark on your Mac and sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID as your iPhone. Your Macs appear in the app on their own; there is nothing to pair.
No Mac yet? The app opens on demo data so you can look around.
Turn on alerts. Settings → Alerts → iPhone alerts. By default only critical alerts make a sound (a Mac went silent, is about to sleep or is too hot, and critical tasks); the rest arrive quietly in Notification Center.

Common questions

A Mac shows as asleep. RigSpark can't wake a Mac over the internet. Plug it in and open the lid, or check it has power and is online. Tasks you send meanwhile wait in iCloud and start when it wakes.
No alerts arrive. Check Settings → Notifications → RigSpark on the iPhone, that both devices use the same Apple ID, and that iCloud isn't full (the app tells you if it is).
Approvals. Requests that change something outside RigSpark's own workspace need you. Approve them in the app with Face ID; they're never approved from a notification.
Signing in. Optional: Settings → Account → Sign in with Apple or Google links the app to your RigSpark account. The app works the same either way. Sign out from the same place.
